Former WWE superstar and AEW champion Samoa Joe will appear in the newly announced Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio just revealed the latest spin-off in its Yakuza series, which will be centered around Goro Majima losing his memory on a tropical island near Hawaii. From there, he must team up with a young boy named Noah to get to the bottom of a plot involving the yakuza and a radioactive waste dump, even becoming the captain of a pirate crew in the process.
The recent Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii trailer featured plenty of action, with Goro battling pirates with both sword attacks and martial arts moves. While there didn’t seem to be any shown in the trailer, it wouldn’t be surprising if Goro unleashes some wrestling-inspired finishers in his latest adventure, as past Yakuza games have allowed players to defeat enemies using powerbombs and suplexes worthy of the squared circle. Real-life champions of the ring like Kenny Omega, The Great Muta, and Hiroshi Tanahashi have also appeared in the Yakuza series, with Yoshiaki Fujiwara even having a recurring role as The Florist of Sai.
